Abstract
CATRASYS (Cassino Tracking System) is a new measuring system that can easily evaluate robot workspace performances. A prototype has been built at the Laboratory of Robotics and Mechatronics in Cassino. The trilateration technique has been used to evaluate position and orientation of robot end-effector. In this paper we present the system and its operation through experimental determination of robot workspace.
